Unfortunately about 80% of employers go through your social media and if they don’t like what you post etc they can fire you. A lot of people hate this but this is their regulations so either be careful what you say or move along 🤷‍♂️

But it turns out that Naomi didn’t lose her internship because of something Hickham did.

Hickam addressed the situation on his personal blog, “Thoughts From Homer Hickham At Skyrdige”, and was emphatic that it wasn’t actually Naomi’s tweets that were the problem.

“I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with NASA.This I had nothing to do with nor could I since I do not hire and fire at the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever. As it turned out, it was due to the NASA hashtag her friends used that called the agency’s attention to it long after my comments were gone,” Hickam wrote in a blog post Tuesday.

Hickam also shared that he is “certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry and I’m doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than she lost,” and has “talked to the folks that had to do with her internship and made absolutely certain that there will be no black mark on her record.”
